User blog comment:Anobi/If I made a DMC game.../@comment-12.213.112.55-20111221051029

Hey, Anobi. I was looking at the DMC wiki yesterday when the title of this page caught my eye. I love reading fan-fictions that people make of their (and MY) favorite gaming franchises, so naturally, I looked into it, and it sounds pretty good.

That being said, I do agree with some of Flia's critique, so I thought I might give my ideas to make your "Django" character stand out in a cast of hot-tempered protagonists...

You said he was an orphan, but what if he grew up on the streets instead of foster homes? Naturally, that means he'd likely be caught up in some gang violence, crime, etc. This would give him a "survival-of-the-fittest" mentality, especially with his supernatural talents, making him more likely to help himself before others, making him even more of an outcast to society. If Django ends up saving a life in all the chaos at the game's beginning and that person says to him, "You saved me! Thank you so much!", where Dante would likely reply, "Don't sweat it. It's my job," Django would simply say, "Whatever. I didn't do it for you."

He'll slowly change his attitude over the course of the story as he witnesses Dante's selfless deeds, learning that qualities such as kindness and mercy are not signs of personal weakness, but proof of true inner strength.

I know that all sounds a bit preachy, and I'm sure it's been used somwhere before, but I really think it would make this character seem different among the existing cast. Also, I think the Onikirimaru shouldn't just be one katana, but maybe a daitio? TWO katanas! It would make it different from the Yamato, and would be so kick-ass!

Anyway, that's just about all the thoughts I have right now, so I'll just wrap this up. I don't actually have a handle for myself, or an e-mail address, so if you're wondering who I am, just call me Peter.

Heheheheheheheh (Peter Griffin giggle)
